    The bunker Valentin is the ruin of a submarine shipyard of the German navy from the Second World War. From 1943 to 1945, thousands of forced laborers from all over Europe were used here: civilians as well as prisoners of war and concentration camp inmates. More than 1,100 of them died during construction of malnutrition, disease and indiscriminate killings. What remains is the bunker Valentin, a unique and unmissable relic of Nazi armor for the naval war. He is a place of remembrance of the war and of the crimes of the National Socialist rule.
    The grounds and the very impressive multimedia information center are open daily from 10 am to 4 pm, except on Mondays and Saturdays.
    On public holidays the place of thought is closed.

      The bunker is the second largest (former) submarine bunker in Europe ... the biggest is in France.
      In the bunker Valentin actually not a single submarine was produced, nevertheless, had to let alone for this monster numerous people in torturous forced labor their lives.
      A guided tour is very interesting and frightening at the same time ... but it is always our German history.
      In order to get your head back a little free, definitely worth a walk on the Weser!

        There is a lot of history in it. The architecture alone is oppressive. Last year I took a trip there with a school class. Fortunately we had booked a tour. Among other things, the guide said that all the concrete needed to build the bunker would have been enough to build the homes of a city of 20,000.
        Only for a few years, you can see this place from the inside. On berthing this bunker is not long.
